Carved furniture has always been popular,but the cost of it in stores, sometimes too high, especially if it is a complex picture. Having a certain experience of working with natural wood, you can make with your own hands unusually beautiful and stylish furniture for your own house. 
Compression of the joints of chairs during gluing: a - clamps and belt ties, 1 - clamp, 2 - belt clamp, 3 - cut bar or board, b - rope. Tables, chairs, armchairs, cabinets - all this is available for hand-made manufacture. It requires only skill, imagination and patience, as carving is a long and painstaking process. If there is no experience in doing this, then you can start by making a small stool with carved legs. Gradually, you can go to the manufacture of tables, armchairs, carved panels for the room. Performing work is necessary, based on certain rules and requirements, choosing the type of thread that fits most.
Examples of carving for a chair
Woodcarving can be traditional andnot ordinary. The choice of a particular method depends on whether there is work experience, what tools are available. The methods of decorating furniture include: 
Figure 1. Drawing of a stool.
Through-thread, which is considered one of thesimple. Two methods are used: cutting thread when the sections are sawed, and slotted, when through holes are cut out by incisors or chisels. If you use a relief ornament, then this version of the through thread is called openwork.
Plain-carving thread. It has a flat background, and the decorative elements seem to deepen into it. There are a lot of subspecies of this thread. Popular contour, based on the cutting of grooves chisel angular shape, knives. The staple thread is leaving a trace on the tree in the form of a bracket. Ornament turns out unusual. Geometrical threading is performed in 2 stages. This is the tattoo of the picture and its pruning, as a result, beautiful trihedral patterns are produced, they are rhombuses, honeycomb, vityake, shining, chains and so on. Black-threaded thread assumes the use of a surface covered with varnish as a background. On the finished background, patterns of different depths are cut. The result is an unusual and contrasting thread, which gives the product an original appearance.
Embossed carving for furniture, which is usedoften, but to have experience of such work is necessary. In it there is a flat relief carving, that is a kind of an ornament with the selected background. The difference is that the background is made below the ornament, it is specially chosen for this purpose by the chisel. The Kudrin carving with the image of birds, animals, flowers, incredibly beautiful garlands with leaves is unusual. Art was born thanks to the master Vasily Voronov from the village of Kudrino, where the name came from.
Sculptural carving is a separate version, for furniture it is used extremely rarely, since it requires skill.
If there is no experience, then it is best to start with simpleoptions, gradually improving skills. In addition, special types of machines are used for complex types of threads, which allow the machining of three-dimensional parts. Back to contents</a>
Stages of manufacturing carved furniture
A stool with your own hands is an option for beginners. For work it is necessary to prepare certain materials and tools: 
Dependence of the quality of the structure on the structure: a - a fragile part due to the large number of joints, b - a solid part made from a solid carved board.
Pine boards. They are the easiest to process, have a beautiful appearance and aroma of needles. You can take not only pine, but also birch planks, alder, lime, for work is suitable oak or karagach.
A set of carpentry tools, including a hammer, chisel, electric jigsaw, saw, drill.
Screwdriver and set of fasteners.
A stain for painting the furniture of the chosen color, instead of it you can use oil, paint. For protection of wood, a clear glossy or matt varnish is used.
Before you make a carved chair, you need todraw a drawing, select a drawing for the thread, draw up a diagram of its implementation. If there is no experience, then it is better to start with simple patterns. For the backboard, you can even use plywood sheets that are cut out more simply than a wooden board, and their cost is lower. An example of a scheme for a stool is shown in Fig. How to get started? The process of carving and manufacturing the chair includes the following steps: 
The bent chair.
Begin to make carved chairs and stools withprocessing of wood, since this will determine the appearance of the piece of furniture, durability, the absence of cracks on the surface. The wood is taken in autumn or winter blanks, so that the juice movement in it is minimal. These blanks will not crack. If ready boards are used, they should be perfectly dried, do not have large defects, for example, falling knots, pitching of resin, cracks and other. The best materials for home furniture are pine, oak, birch, alder, linden, birch.
For work, you must choose only qualitytools that are designed for carving. Today in stores you can buy ready-made sets, but their cost is quite high, and separately these tools can go much cheaper. Some of them are in many houses. These are chisels, jambs, thicknesser, cricker-grass, corners, malka, scratch, files, kiyanka, coins, saw, electric jigsaw, drill and others. It all depends on what thread is required, what will be the level of complexity.
The boards are laid out on a horizontal surface,begin cutting. To do this, it is necessary to mark the surface of the boards in accordance with the drawing. It is desirable to put a designation on each element to make it easier to assemble the finished parts. If there is a circular saw, then the carving is much easier. If it does not, you can use an electric jigsaw. If you use thicker elements for furniture, then they will need to glue PVA.
After all the details are cut and glued,you need to perform a sweep. Beginners make the mistake of applying grinding paper to sandpaper. At the manufacture of wooden furniture at this stage, use only cycling. Then the finished workpiece for threading is fixed on a workbench, with a simple pencil and a stencil (if it is used), a pattern is applied to the surface. Attach the part carefully, as during operation it is necessary to observe the maximum accuracy and accuracy, otherwise hands can easily be damaged.
When markup is applied, you can start cutting. It all depends on which method will be used for the job. For simple options, it is enough to cut holes of different shapes using a jig saw. If a complex three-dimensional thread is used, special machines will be needed. Therefore, experts recommend starting with simple forms.

How to collect chairs?
are collected when each part is processed,polished, the surface was smooth and attractive. After that, the assembly is performed according to the scheme. This requires self-tapping, you can use wooden spikes, which are smeared with glue. To dry the glue, you need to use a special press or clamps. 
Methods of expression of tectonics: a - non-tectonic pasting (in growth), b - tectonic pasting of the lateral edge, c - tectonic connection of the scutum with the leg, d, e - tectonic connections of the scissors with the leg. When the furniture is assembled, and the glue is dry, it is necessary to carefully clean the stool from dust, for which a usual wet cloth is used. The process is repeated approximately 2-3 times, the chair should dry before starting the further finish. Approximately 3 hours after the wood has dried out, you can cover the chair with nitrocellulose and polish, leave for a day for drying. After 24 hours, the surface must be ground, then re-coated with a layer of polishing. After 4 days for coating used polish, mixed with alcohol, so that the chair acquired a beautiful mirror shine. Similarly, you can make armchairs, tables and other pieces of furniture. It is important to immediately choose the type of thread and draw a drawing for the assembly. Carved furniture has always been popular due to its stylish appearance. It is strong and stable, as it is made of natural wood, and its appearance is stylish and elegant, it can perfectly match any interior.
